In today's episode, Jordin shares her pregnancy and birth story. During her pregnancy, she was dealing with some prenatal anxiety, concerned that something might be wrong with her son. Jordin shares tips on what helped her overcome her anxiety and put her mind at ease. Jordin goes on to experience a very fast labor (6 hours, total!) and with Gina by her side as doula, changes her birth plan at the hospital to opt for the epidural, which she describes as a major game changer! At the end of this episode, Gina and Roxanne share about their own journeys with prenatal anxiety and what they recommend you can do if you find yourself struggling with this relatively common issue.
